Happy Birthday to Thomas Clement Douglas, the father of Canadian medicare!! (Born 20 October 1904 – died 24 February 1986) Tommy Douglas introduced medical insurance reform in his first term as premier of SK, and gradually moved the province towards universal medicare near the end of his last term. In the summer of 1962, SK was the centre of a hard-fought struggle between the Douglas government, the North American medical establishment, and physicians, who brought things to a halt with the 1962 Saskatchewan doctors' strike. Douglas prevailed, and health care spread across Canada, with QC joining last in 1970. #cdnpoli @JMACL3AN

"As an ER doctor, I’m concerned for the marginalized. Our collective fate is tied to theirs. We want a smart and kind city that doesn’t vilify the vulnerable. In this election, consider candidates who promote the well-being of every Torontonian and keep us Toronto the good"

Not all of Canada’s doctors support two-tier profiteer medicine which puts greed and wealth ahead of the public’s health. @OntarioHealthC @HealthCoalition

Canadians across the nation are standing up for our publicly funded healthcare system. We are here to defend Canada. No to profit over patients.

During today's lunch break, CUPE Ontario Convention delegates took their fight to the streets, rallying against the ongoing privatization of Ontario's health care system.
As governments continue to funnel public dollars into private profit, workers, patients, and communities are paying the price through longer wait times, staffing shortages, and reduced access to care.
Delegates sent a clear message: Health care is a public good, not a business opportunity.
We will continue to fight for a fully public, properly funded health care system that puts patients before profits and ensures quality care for everyone.
✊🏥 Public health care. Public solutions. No privatization.

Thousands of protesters accused the Ford government of privatizing public hospitals at a rally at Queen’s Park on Thursday.
Given the government’s significant investments in private clinics, I ask the health minister if Ontario is now operating a two-tier health-care system:

Please come out and share this as widely as possible. Ontarians are coming in on VIA and GO trains from all over the province to join the giant march and protest.

Ford forced the majority of our hospitals into deficit & is threatening takeover if they don’t make cuts. At the same time, his gov't is shifting $1 billion & more than 1 million patients to private clinics. They’re privatizing our hospitals unless we stop them. 🧵👇

Enforce the Canada Health Act! Canadian tax dollars are being deliberately misappropriated through underfunding of public healthcare and redirecting money to create a second-tier private for-profit health care system. The thieves are hiding in plain sight.

Ontario's Health Minister says low acuity ER visits are improving in part because pharmacists (many employed by billionaires close to government like the Westons) - can now treat conditions like dandruff. I've never seen somone seek ER care for dandruff in 25 years.
